Abstract

In some species, large-scale rearrangements occur in a tightly regulated manner, as a normal part of development. This phenomenon, broadly termed programmed genome rearrangement (PGR), is known have evolved independently in several eukaryotic lineages, including ciliated protozoans, some species of roundworms, copepod crustaceans, sciarid flies, and midges. The repeated evolution of PGR suggests recurrent selection for regulated dynamism of genome primary structure.
